From a description of a 16th-century fortress, there are several examples of ***rampa carrabile***, which are stone ramps inside the fortress leading from one level to another. They are flat (i.e. not stairs) to allow the passage of carts. I thought of 'carriageable ramp' but wonder if anyone can suggest a more suitable term? Thanks in advance.

Thomae carved the Baroque statues on the balustrades of the carriage ramp and the terrace. The decoration and furnishing of the interior (wallpaper, furniture, painting, etc.), still preserved almost complete and unaltered, were the work of the court painter Louis de Silvestre, the interior decorator Raymond Leplat and the wallpaper designer Pierre Mercier.

ramp suitable for horse-drawn carriages
since this is in the 16th century, the precision seems necessary as carrabile/carrossable has no real single word equivalent in English
Peer comment(s):
| agree |

: and of course this doesn't limit the traffic to horse drawn carriages!

ramp suitable for heavy-duty carts & carriages
rcolin gave a good explanation.
However a "rampa carrabile" was also for carts with goods, food, etc... It was actually not just for horse-drawn vehicles, but for any heavy-duties carts and carriages, including those drawn by people (also mules, cows, donkeys, etc)
